San Marco (TSX VENTURE: SMN) is pleased to announce the appointment
of Brent Hendrickson as Vice President of Exploration.
Mr. Hendrickson's 25 year career as a mining exploration
geologist began subsequent to his graduation from South Dakota
School of Mines with a M.Sc. in Geology. His thesis fieldwork was
done in Brazil at the Universidade Federal da Bahia. He received
his B.Sc. in Geology from the Institute of Technology at the
University of Minnesota.
Early in his career, Mr. Hendrickson worked on gold exploration
projects in the Black Hills, South Dakota for Cyprus, St. Joe
Minerals and Noranda. He also worked for E.K. Lehman and Associates
and Amax Gold in Montana. Eventually, Mr. Hendrickson was drawn to
Nevada where he was engaged in gold exploration for Battle Mountain
Gold, U.S. Borax, and subsequently Kennecott. In 1990 Mr.
Hendrickson began working solely as a consultant geologist focused
in Nevada, Mexico, and Central America. During this period, Mr.
Hendrickson became proficient in digitally integrating exploration
data using GIS as a key tool for guiding his exploration. Over the
next 10 years Mr. Hendrickson's clients included Independence
Mining (now AngloGold-Ashanti), Cyprus, Western Mining Corp,
Homestake Mining Company and MK Gold where projects were located in
Nevada, California, Arizona, Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua,
Colombia, and Guyana.
Over the next few years his activities included assisting
companies such as Aurelian in Ecuador, (Fruta Del Norte) Hecla's
exploration efforts in Venezuela, Aquiline in Argentina, Absolut in
Peru, and Northern Peru Copper in Peru. Several of these companies
achieved exploration success with discoveries of significant ore
deposits.
Mr. Hendrickson is fluent in Spanish and will be based in
Guadalajara, Mexico, where the majority of San Marco's activities
currently exist.
Chairman Robert Willis commented; "Brent's experience in a great
variety of geological environments will certainly give San Marco
shareholders an advantage towards recognition of mineral properties
that have potential for a major discovery; his database is second
to none. We welcome Brent to the San Marco team and look forward to
adding valuable assets to our mineral property portfolio."
